A scientist wondering how to defend yourself in a controversy? Here's my Constance Holden Award Address on that topic for the International Society of Intelligence Research. (The award is for outstanding science journalism.)

WBEZ has had me on twice in recent years, once to talk aboutwho owns science (related to Galileo's MIddle Finger, but we talked about the Dr. Phil problem), and once to talk about being intersex.

It starts at about the 26-minute mark here.

If you're into podcasts, you can listen to my appearances related to Galileo's Middle Finger on:
